Let's be honest. You're here for the beer, right? Belgium is rightly renowned for its fantastic variety of beer, thanks to its tradition of quality brewing dating right back to the middle ages. Of course, drinking good beer has always been an easy pleasure in Brussels, the nation's capital. Until recently, however, the growing global trend for craft beers and microbreweries seemed to have passed the city by.
No longer! Now, Brussels boasts a handful of microbreweries that produce a fantastic range of beers in small locations in the middle of the city. Beerstorming, a relative newcomer in Saint-Gilles, is not just another craft brewery. It boast an entirely unique concept. You can get a group together and make your own beer. That's right! Beerstorming's brewers will guide you through the process, help you select flavours and ingredients to make your very own unique beer, which you can take home with you. The brewing package is fairly pricey but undoubtedly an interesting concept in the world's beer capital.
Alternatively, you can also pop in for beer tasting - 4 glasses and a growler to take home, or simply to buy a glass to drink on the spot.
